I know a young man who really didn’t like school, and although he was one of the most intelligent young men I knew, he underachieved. Not only did he not like school he also didn’t seem motivated to work at menial jobs

When he got to college he eventually dropped out. His parents and teachers were concerned about his apparent laziness and lack of motivation, but the reality was that nothing they were presenting to him aligned with who he was created to be.

A few years later I observed him connect with his purpose and passion. I saw the lights go on as he aligned with what truly inspired him. I saw him work harder than other young men his age as he built a business around his innate abilities and interests. Because he was inspired, it was not work to him, it was play – it was his purpose and passion!

I observed as he spent almost every spare moment engaged in “self-education.” He thirsted for the knowledge that pertained to his new venture. He was inspired and he was taking inspired action in a massive way.

The key here is that he began taking action that he felt inspired to take, not just doing what others told him he “should” do.

“When we’re inspired we’re connected to this force that’s greater in every respect that our physical being. It was in-spirit that our purpose was laid out and its in-spirit where our magnificence is absolute and irrefutable. Before merging into form, we were a part of God, with all the inherent qualities of a Creator who sends forth abundance, creativity, love, peace, joy and well-being.” (Dyer, Inspiration, 7)

1. Your thoughts and emotions are more powerful than your actions

When you align with Divine Purpose you are led to the right actions. Inspiration is the result of your connection to Divine Purpose.

Once you understand the importance of a clear, un-corroded connection to your Source, you are going to begin experiencing inspired thoughts and feelings. When you are inspired you’ve established resonance with divine energy. Knowing that thoughts are things made up of vibrational energy, we can now see that inspired thoughts are especially powerful things, because they flow from our Source and put us on a path of divine intention.

Inspiration is Divine Purpose revealing itself to you. The word inspiration comes from two words, “In” and “spirit.” Living an inspired life is living in harmony, or, in oneness, with the divine source from which you originated. We could call it “spiritual mindedness.” As you seek to live an inspired life you begin to see yourself aligning with your Divine Purpose.

Napoleon Hill said: “An intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into its physical counterpart by the application of known principles.” (Hill, Think and Grown Rich, 11)

Anyone who has done work of a creative nature knows the feeling of being inspired. It is an incredible experience when ideas just seem to flow. It’s like a faucet has suddenly been turned on. Inspired thoughts and ideas begin streaming into your mind as they did for George Frederick Handle when he composed the Messiah. Sometimes the ideas flow so quickly it is difficult to even write them down, but you know you have to take action.

2, Don’t try harder!

As children, most of us were taught: “Apply yourself; just try harder,” but if we need to try harder at something it means we are experiencing dissonance. This is why “principle one” comes first – you must follow the path that resonates for you. Trying harder sends a message to subconscious mind that you are lacking.

Trying harder interrupts the power of visualization. Once you have seen the thing you desire and experienced it with powerful emotion, it is no just longer something you will have in the future, but something you know is already yours.

Once you have the clear picture, your subconscious receives the plan and inspired action naturally follows. You innately know when the signal of your divine purpose is resonating with your Divine source. (This is why Principles 3 and 4 come before 5 and 6).

Remember, the “inner victory” always comes first! The harder you try, the less inspiration will flow and the less you’ll be aligned with your Divine Purpose!

If your actions are not inspired don’t take them! The harder you have to try, the less you will experience True Success!

3. Take Inspired Action

“Inspired action” is the universe’s way of alerting you to an opportunity to create an outcome that is meant for you. When you consistently focus on certain outcomes that are aligned with your purpose, like having more abundance, having your dream career, having a successful business and so on, you start drawing forth all of the resources, people, and opportunities that can help you make those outcomes a physical reality. And many of those resources show up in the form of inspired ideas, or inspired “actions” that you can take.

Many personal development programs solely on taking massive action, and of course without action there can be no results. We cannot reap, unless we sow, but if we’re frantically sowing the wrong seeds we will not reap the desired harvest. True Success happens when we take actions that are inspired by our Divine Purpose.

When our thoughts and feelings are vibrating in a low, uncomfortable, negative place, we are not open to receive inspired ideas. We are only open to receive problems, challenges, and negativity.

By working consistently on raising our frequency we become aligned with wonderful outcomes! And when we align with wonderful outcomes, we receive inspired ideas that help make those outcomes our reality.

When we are inspired by our Divine Purpose all of our thoughts break their bonds, our mind transcends limitations, our consciousness expands in every direction and we find ourselves in a new world. Dormant forces come alive and we find ourselves being far greater than we’ve ever dreamed.

When we’re inspired we’re in a state of absolute faith – an inner knowing that it’s impossible to fail, a complete absence of doubt. We’re incapable of thinking limited thoughts. We go beyond the world of boundaries to a place of creative knowing. We are under the guidance of Divine Purpose.

As I began trying to apply Universal laws, like the law of attraction, I continually slipped back into trying to make my own success happen, instead of allowing it to flow. The idea of “allowing” was completely foreign to me.

Christy Whiman haas taught me that most people don’t understand is that there are other Universal Laws that must be applied in conjunction with the Law of Attraction in order for it to actually work the way you want it to. They involve letting the universe do it’s work instead of us trying to make it work. They help us “try less” and “trust more.”

Here are some of the other laws to begin implementing:

1. The Law of allowing – Which has to do with removing all resistance. Notice when you are feeling anxious or constricted, and allow the flow of source energy.

2. The Law of deliberate creation – Which has to do with your ability to create the life you desire. You have the powere to choose your vibrational frequency!

3. The Law of sufficiency and abundance – Which has to do with the Universe having no shortage, lack or limitations. As you align your mind with abundance, your body actually vibrates in abundance.

4. The Law of detachment – Teaches us to focus on our intention without the restriction of doubt, desperation or time frames. Don’t worry about “when” or “how!”

5. The Law of pure potentiality – Which has to do with the infinite potential for things to be created and manifested. We have been endowed with awesome God-given mental creative powers!

6. The Law of polarity – Which means there are polar opposites of everything that we focus on. This means whenever we think about anything that we desire – whether it’s money, success, intimacy, fun, fulfillment – we can choose to focus either on its presence, or on its absence. For alignment to take place, choose thoughts and emotions that have a high (or positive) frequency.

Practice applying these laws and good things will manifest more effortlessly in your life!

If you were to put a caption or quote to this picture what would it be? For me it would be FAITH!

As a personal success coach my job was to help people go from “where they are now” to “where they really desire to be.” The common denominator I found in working with people was exactly what is represented by this bridge.

The truth is that our “outer-world” is always perfect reflection of our “inner-world.” When a person is ready to accept that truth, they are ready to experience the true success of their Divine Purpose. Accepting this truth requires something to change in our “inner-world.” It requires us to draw upon a power or energy that is unseen by the human eye.

The only way to leave behind the desert of our current circumstances is to take a “leap of faith’ toward the “promised land” of our dreams and passions. We have to be ready to believe that our dreams and passions are God-given, along with our innate gifts and talents.

The only way from “where we are now” to “where we really desire to be” is to take a step of faith, hoping that a bridge will appear. It is scary! It will cause you to stand at the edge of a very high cliff and look at the jagged rocks at the bottom, while you ask yourself these questions:

1. Are the desires of my heart going to allow me to stay in my current wilderness? Is that my Divine Purpose calling to me from the other side?

2. Am I willing to take the risk based on the yearnings of my heart?

3. Do I really believe, in my heart, that a bridge will appear and that my Divine Purpose waits for me on the other side?

To you, my fellow wilderness traveler, seeking to follow the call of your higher-purpose, trust the process and take your “leap of faith!”

FAITH requires us to believe is something we can’t see with our physical eyes. Yet FAITH has an energy frequency that is so high it resonates with Divine Intelligence! It activates the powers of Universal Law and opens the way for your dreams and passions to become your divine reality.

Please share with me your thoughts on this article! I would love to know about your journey!

For many people trying to align with their True Success and Divine Purpose, their biggest stumbling block is meditating consistently.

Don’t look at meditation as a “to do!” It should be something wonderful that you enjoy and look forward to. It’s not about the technique — the technique is not meditation. Meditation is about “being still” and being “free.”

There is no right or wrong way to meditate. You don’t have to join a monastery or sit in lotus for hours.

You don’t have to meditate for 20-30 minutes at a time. Many people use the 3×3 method of meditating for 3 minutes – 3 times a day.

Try meditating before you get out of bed. Take a few minutes to connect with your breath. If your mind kicks in, bring your focus back to your breath. Give thanks for everything in your life before you get out of bed.

As you take your shower, take a few minutes to become conscious of the water against your skin, the sensations and the sounds.

Take opportunities throughout the day to stop and give thanks. Every hour or so, stop for a few minutes to, breathe, re-connect and give thanks. Be consistent!

As you practice, you’ll begin to create new neuropathways that will unlock the flow of power, passion and True Success!

Inspiration is a principle of True Success and Divine Purpose, but where does inspiration come from?

Inspiration is flowing energy that is unseen by the human eye, and the power with which it is felt is undeniable proof of Source Energy. Inspiration is evidence of your Divine Purpose.

Inspiration connects you to True Success in a manner that can’t be experienced in any other way. Mozart didn’t have to motivate himself to write symphonies, because symphonies presented themselves to him, since the time he was nine years old.

When an idea gets a hold of you, you get into a place of surrender, where you just “let go and let God.” Allow this spirit to compel you in directions you are willing to submit to.

We all come into this life with something to accomplish, and no matter how much others try to motivate us to do what they think we should do, it just doesn’t work because we were intended to find that which inspires us. We have to align and connect with our own Divine Purpose and that comes through living an inspired life.

Inspiration flows as you “let go” of your “outside-in” desire to just take action, and begin taking inspired actions.

Here are some steps to help you experience the flow of inspiration:

1. Dont Try to motivate yourself!

Motivation is getting a hold of an idea and taking it to its logical conclusion and not letting anything get in the way of that. We say a motivated person doesn’t let obstacles stop them and doesn’t let anyone to interfere with them, because they are highly directed toward a certain goal. Inspiration is the complete opposite. Inspiration is when an idea gets ahold of you and takes you where you were originally intended to go in the first place. It’s very different from motivation. Motivation is temporary and comes from a focus on “outward circumstance.” Motivation requires willpower and will never lead to transformation or True Success. Motivation comes from the wrong part of the mind. It is the product of the conscious mind and overlooks your subconscious blueprint.

2. Try Meditation

Only by changing our subconscious blueprint can we gain the ability to direct our energy in the direction we want it to go. This allows our subconscious attention to give us everything we need for True Success. When our subconscious energy is going in the direction of our dreams and passions life becomes easy, effortless and we enter the flow state, where there is no need for willpower, there is no forcing and no unpleasantness.

3. Remember that compulsion never works!

Compulsion is the reason so many “so-called” successful people spend their entire lives pursuing a dream someone else gave them only to end up in misery, surrounded by trophies they don’t care for. Compulsion is the opposite of inspiration. For years I practiced the belief that “successful people do the things that unsuccessful people aren’t willing to do.” This belief is based on EGO and in my life it was the cause of “dis-ease.” It drove me to “frantically maneuver;” forcing me to do things that weren’t in alignment with who I am.

4. Only take inspired action

“Inspired action” is the universe’s way of alerting you to an opportunity to create an outcome that is meant for you. When you consistently focus on certain outcomes that are aligned with your purpose, like having more abundance, having your dream career, having a successful business and so on, you start drawing forth all of the resources, people, and opportunities that can help you make those outcomes a physical reality. And many of those resources show up in the form of inspired ideas, or inspired “actions” that you can take.

As a child I knew what if meant to live “Fully Alive.” I knew what I loved to do and I knew what brought me joy. For me it was playing baseball. I could play baseball for hours and completely lose track of time. When I woke up on summer mornings I could hardly wait to jump out of bed and get a baseball game going.

When I wasn’t playing baseball I was day-dreaming about baseball, reading books and articles about baseball. I would walk with my friends to 7-Eleven to buy baseball cards and baseball trading cups. I would buy baseball magazines so I could cut out the pictures and put them up on my bedroom wall.

Somewhere along the way I lost the ability to be “fully alive.” As anxiety and fear of failure crept into my life I began avoiding many of the joys of life, in order to avoid pain and disappointment.

If you are experiencing self-doubts, feelings of emptiness or purposeless, feeling disconnected spirituality, longing for something more, living without joy or passion, addictions and self-defeating behavior, making a living, but not living, feeling held-back or stuck you are probably living to avoid pain rather than being “fully alive”. Here are some steps that can help:

1. Acknowledge that in order to be “fully alive” you have to go through some pain.Pain is a part of life so embrace it and realize that pain is evidence that you are alive. Don’t miss out on the adventures of life because you’re trying to avoid the possibility of pain and disappointment.

2. Discover your Divine Purpose. What are your innate gifts and talents? What would you do if time and money weren’t an issue? How can you use your gifts to enhance the lives of others?

3. Do something you love to do everyday – even if its a short time. Your passions are evidence of what you are created to be.

4. Follow your dreams! God wouldn’t have planted those dreams in your heart, without giving you the ability to go make them happen.

5. See the humor in life! Allow yourself to laugh and have fun. Laughter will restore your love for living.

What stops you from being “fully alive?” Are you ready to resurrect your life by aligning with your Divine Purpose? What steps are you willing to take today to begin the process? Share your comments below!

Today as I am writing this, I just received two emails one was from one of the nation’s top personal development gurus, promoting a new book about the “Power of Self-discipline,” saying that self-discipline and self-motivation are the keys to success. He goes on to say that self-discipline and self-motivation are the difference between greatness and mediocrity. The other email was from a motivational speaker saying that “success is doing what we don’t want to do.”

These are just more of the same “outside-in” success myths that keep us from looking deep inside and finding the joy that leads to inspired action. It amazes me how these old school success guru’s continue to promote the same old myths that have never produced joy, passion or lasting change. It simply is not possible to “white knuckle” ourselves to True Success. The need to “white-Knuckle” is just evidence that we are not aligned with our Divine Purpose.

1. Don’t try to Motivate Yourself?

Divine inspiration is an unseen, yet powerful energy that is undeniable proof of a Divine Source from which our Divine Purpose flows. Inspiration is evidence that our bandwidth to Divine Purpose is wide open.

Reaching high levels of success does require us to leave old comfort zones, but we are more likely to step out into the unknown by following inspiration than we will with our own unsteady willpower.

Divine Purpose flows as you “let go” of your “outside-in” desire to just take action, and begin taking inspired actions.

There are many ways to get inspiration; some people get a warm feeling inside, some people actually get goose bumps, but the key is that when you are inspired you feel joy.

Because inspiration brings joy, inspired action doesn’t feel like work. It’s like play. Like Thomas Edison said when your vocation becomes your vacation then you know you’re where you’re supposed to be.

2. Take Inspired Action

“Inspired action” is the universe’s way of alerting you to an opportunity to create an outcome that is meant for you. When you consistently focus on certain outcomes that are aligned with your purpose, like having more abundance, having your dream career, having a successful business and so on, you start drawing forth all of the resources, people, and opportunities that can help you make those outcomes a physical reality. And many of those resources show up in the form of inspired ideas, or inspired “actions” that you can take.

Many personal development programs solely on taking massive action, and of course without action there can be no results. We cannot reap, unless we sow, but if we’re frantically sowing the wrong seeds we will not reap the desired harvest. True Success happens when we take actions that are inspired by our Divine Purpose.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart didn’t have to motivate himself to write symphonies, because symphonies presented themselves to him, since the time he was nine years old.

When an idea gets a hold of you, you get into a place of surrender, where you just “let go and let God.” Allow this spirit to compel you into directions you are willing to submit to.

We all come into this life with something to accomplish, and no matter how much others try to motivate us to do what they think we should do, it just doesn’t work because we were intended to find that which inspires us. We have to align and connect with our own Divine Purpose and that comes through living an inspired life.

We don’t have to write symphonies in order to fulfill our Divine Purpose; we just have to listen to the something deep inside us that is saying “you must do this. This is your purpose.” It could be adopting and child. It could be starting a business. It could be starting a charity. It could be any of a myriad of things that we are being called to do.
